First of all it is worth remembering that this comparison
was carried out with the G5 set at ISO 50, there is no way the G5 could
keep noise down in the same way the EOS 300D does even at ISO 100 let
alone higher sensitivities (see
this page). It's clear to see the differences in image processing
between the two, the G5's images have a harder more processed appearance
with more visible artifacts and more visible noise. Color balance and
tonal response are surprisingly similar, surprising unless you remember
that both of these camera's feature Canon's "DiGiC" processor.
In some crops the G5 does appear to be resolving more detail than the
EOS 300D, that is an eye-opener in itself. Overall however I'm still comfortable
in saying I prefer the EOS 300D image's D-SLR look to the G5's harder
prosumer camera output.*
* Note that it would be possible to get a little closer
to the look of the EOS 300D image by reducing sharpening on the G5, although
it only provides on step of adjustment.
